If you are on Facebook, you will receive the email in a chat message. From the chat interface you can respond to the message and it will be sent as an email reply, without ever having to go to the message center or to an email client.

The ability to be notified everywhere you have a electronic device seems a bit overwhelming to me. I might think my house was exploding if my computers, iPad, IM’s and phones started beeping and binging because someone sent me an email. It would be like the old AOL “You’ve Got Mail” notification on steroids and in full Dolby stereo! Thankfully you can set how you want to be notified. I do like that the email can come to you in a chat message. That will make responding quickly and immediately very easy.

The history feature is my favorite part. I have spent hours searching through emails trying to find a single email that I read a few years ago. Or going through 50 different emails with someone I’ve been talking to a lot recently, looking for that one email that said that one thing. This will put all the emails in one place, so all I will have to remember is who I was emailing in the first place.

Part of setting your notifications is based off your social inbox, which I’ll talk about in tomorrow’s post.
